Roundabouts


We here in Northern Ireland are the world leaders in painting roads, footpaths and kerbstones. We also like a flag. I watched some of the race rioting you had in cities in England and I have to say you should be ashamed of yourself, very much second division stuff, not a water canon or plastic bullet to be seen. Now youse are painting roundabouts and again youse are falling far short of what could be considered acceptable in the in the realm of public protest.
 


We have a protest and counter protest in our home town today.

What I can’t get my head around is this, and i appreciate i am stereotyping.

I assume that they all voted for brexit even though experts said it would bad.

Because of Brexit we no longer had the Dublin agreement therefore creating the “small boats issue”

Economically we took a hit and therefore the conservatives massively increased legal migration to mitigate.

Because of the conservatives the immigration system has practically ground to a stand still. Claimants spend more time either waiting deportation or permission to work.

Reform stand aside in the Boris election during which time immigration jumps massively.

Within 12 months of a labour government that didn’t given them the brexit vote or responsible for the decade when immigration numbers jumped hugely a bunch of people decide:

a) to protest about issues they directly voted for.
b) criticise a government that were not in power when all this started.
c) probably voted for the party that caused it all
d) will probably vote for a party whose main aim was Brexit and who supported the cons until recently.

And then they protest againt …….themselves

By the way what makes it even stranger is there are no “hostels” anywhere near us and there are less than 1% of non white people in the entire county.

It's surprising you think they might think logically about anything.

All of this is just large swathes of the country finally feeling like they can air their racism, whatever flavour that might be on their individual level, in public. This will play out as:

It's not racism > there's a legitimate conversation to be had around culture clash > there's a legitimate conversation to be had on race > it's racism but we have good reasons for being racist.
